The Outdoor Edge EM1 Ergo Max Processing Kit delivers professional-grade game processing capability in a complete 5-piece system. This comprehensive kit eliminates the need for multiple separate tools by providing specialized blades engineered for different cuts and processing tasks. The titanium-coated 5Cr13MoV steel construction ensures edge retention through extended processing sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic hunting knife sets, the EM1 features ergonomically designed handles with non-slip grip surfaces that reduce hand fatigue during extended processing work. The titanium coating on the 5Cr13MoV steel blades provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces friction for cleaner cuts. Each blade serves a specific function, from initial field dressing to detailed butchering work. The modular design allows hunters to carry only needed components for field work while keeping the complete set available for home processing.
Key Features
- 5Cr13MoV stainless steel blades with black titanium coating for corrosion resistance
- Ergonomic handles designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use
- Complete 5-piece kit includes skinning, fillet, boning, and utility blades
- Non-slip grip surfaces maintain control even when wet

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across various game sizes, from upland birds to large game processing. The specialized blade geometries handle delicate work like filleting fish and precise tasks like cape skinning for taxidermy preparation. The titanium coating maintains sharpness longer than standard steel, reducing the frequency of field sharpening. Temperature extremes from freezing morning hunts to warm processing areas don't affect blade performance or handle integrity.
